We absolutely love the look and feel of Winter vests. They're a supremely functional layering piece that can be paired with everything from long dresses to jeans and sweaters, plus they work in Spring and Fall, too. On the Fall 2010 runway, Winter vests were styled so fashionably, they defined the outfit, and between shearling, faux fur, real fur, leather, and puffers, there are more than a few ways to wear the look. That said, we've helped narrow it down with 15 of our favorites; now it's up to you to get one and style it out your way.

A lot of faux fur is actually real fur. According to the Humane Society, "Millions of dogs and cats are slaughtered every year for the [Chinese] fur trade" which supplies more than half of the fur garments imported for sale into the United States. Dog and cat fur is deliberately mislabeled as fur from other species so that it can be sold to unsuspecting Americans.
Everyone from Martha Stewart to Paul McCartney has denounced this fur, including some of the largest clothing retailers. J. Crew, Ann Taylor, Abercrombie and Fitch, and U.K.'s most highly respected fashion chain Topshop, have all stopped selling fur after seeing the Fur Trade videos.
This is not an issue that concerns only animal rights advocates. Everyone should boycott fur. And boycott faux fur too, just to be sure.
Besides, fur is so ugly. Reminds me of my old granny getting dressed for her weekly bingo game...mink coat and all. YUCK!
